Pretty much anything by Cole Porter. He was the master of innuendo.
"Point of No Return" ~ PotO - thinnly veiled innuendo

I Never Do Anything Twice (Sondheim)
Noel Coward's parody lyrics to Porter's "Let's Do It" ("Snow White felt she must do it/The seven dwarfs could only just do it" among others)
"Push de Button" Color Purple.
BRING ON THE MEN from JEKYLL & HYDE
POINT OF NO RETURN from PHANTOM OF THE OPERA
Well, I didn't find the song "Take Off With Us" particualry sexual. It was just some song about an airline. What Joe Gideon (Bob Fosse) did with the staging was sexual.
Along with The Tennis Song from City of Angels, Lost and Found is also.
The Tennis Song and Lost and Found from City of Angels were the first songs that popped in my head when I read the title of this thread. Brilliant.

When you're Good to Mama- Chicago
Take off with us is incredibly sexual even without the dancing!
"Service, service, service."
"Chum, are you gonna come?"
"Any seat you grab will be first class"
The lyrics look innocent but the music they're set to clearly defines the innuendo, that's what makes the song so cool!
And p.s. Cruel Sandwich I love you and I love Arrested Development.
wet from steel pier, particularly the barrett/krakowski version
defintiyl tennis song from city of angels
Toledo Surprise
The song from DEBBIE DOES DALLAS about masturbating with a candle.
I agree with City of Angels...
The Tennis Song is my choice. Perfect!
Lost and Found, as well

aha! I'm NOT the only person who thought that the Baker's Wife is a total slut when she said, "What's important really is the size."
I never noticed that. Ya think that's why she pretty much did Cinderella's Prince?
"Come up to my office" from Parade.
Almost everything in that song, even the repition that says:
"That you came, that you came, that you came..." and everything else! I love it though!
Brush Up Your Shakespeare from Kiss Me, Kate the scadal.

"Green, Green Dress" from tick tick Boom! hasn't got a mention yet? Wow!
"Green green dress, twenty buttons and a strap. Green green dress, oh what a pleasure to unwrap." Hah!
Also, "Push Da Button" from The Color Purple is total innuendo -- if you've read the book, you know what I mean.
"Our Little Den of Iniquity" Pal Joey
I b'lieve they did have some alternate lyrics as some were considered too suggestive.

"Jerry Likes My Corn" from GREY GARDENS.
Think of that. PLENTY of innuendo in that, from that title alone.
Have you ever heard the song "When Daddy Plays the Banjo" or "Banjo Boy" by Michael McKean? Think of hat.
'push the button' and 'any little thing' from The Color Purple
